    That's just boxing for you. Just look at Spence and Crawford fans to a lesser extent.

        For me it’s more disappointing when I see my own British fans doing this. It’s sad and immature....

        I don’t mind banter with posters from other countries, but to see it within the British posters sucks... Hence why I ignore them sometimes.

          I mean that isn't a surprise since the is THE biggest fight in the countries' history. Folks in the UK are far more passionate about the fight than those stateside or anywhere else around the world.

          The build up is going to be ugly no doubt.

              Oh I get it. Oh yes the build up is actually going to get racial. Am seeing that already from most the die hard Fury fan girls. Not his real fans but the ones who are invested in him as their father and brothers.

                So a Brit isn’t allowed to banter or criticise a British boxer because they’re from the same country?

                This is why I respect American boxing fans over guys like you, they support and have a go at whoever, it doesn’t matter if they’re American or not.

                    I remember when floyd won and the pac fans went into hiding for a long time, I feel like the same will happen with AJ vs fury fight, whoever loses their fans will go into hiding and be shamed.

                    Also the fight itself feels like a pac vs floyd fight cause I’ve not seen this much of a divide between boxing fans since then. It’s true 50/50 divide between the fans.

                    This is the new floyd vs pac.
                    What?

                    Neither guy is remotely big enough or good enough for that comparison.

                    Floyd and Pac are HOF and ATG

                    Neither AJ or Fury are HOF let alone ATG...yet.

                    Neither guy is doing 1+ million PPV buys regardless of opponent...and Floyd and Manny did that every fight they had

                    The comparison is pretty weak and over-generalized

                      Crawford fan here. Hoping Spence fight happens but at this point I dont care if it does. PBC fighters collectively avoided Crawford despite ALL PBC fighters having ZERO contractual or promotional obligations. Instead the PBC bunch banded together and didnt give Crawford the chance to reign supreme. Some callous and cowardly stuff

                      Crawford is probably the best fighter in the past 5-7 years. A real treat to watch. Fortunately he will probably get Thurman next but for me Spence has already waited Crawford out.

                      I dont respect Spence. Not for the way he fought Porter - holding and low blows - or how much weight he drains to make WW or how much trash he never backs up. I'm not a fan at all.

                      To be clear, any version of Floyd or Manny beat Spence. Having a good sparring session with a 36-37 year old Floyd or Manny don't mean nothing.
